Applications are invited for consideration for appointment to the following position:
Department: Student Health Service
Budget Title: College Physician
Local Title: College Physician
Posting Date: July 30, 2024
Classification: SL-6
Duties: The State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz and the Student Health Service welcome applications for a college physician. The college physician will provide care for our diverse population of intelligent young adults. We strive to deliver quality care in a compassionate environment. Join a team focused on students, excellence, and teamwork.
Student Health Service provides primary care to registered students at SUNY New Paltz. This involves caring for acute medical problems including respiratory infections, gastrointestinal upset, skin conditions, urinary tract infections, vaginitis, STIs, injuries, stress induced illness, and chronic illness not cared for by other primary care providers, etc. You are expected to be knowledgeable about health problems common to this population. As you become more familiar with these illnesses and injuries you can become an expert caring for these problems.
If private practice is no longer practical and corporate health doesn’t feel right this position may work for you. Dealing with insurance companies and prior authorizations is a very small part of this job. The electronic medical record is easy to use, and more importantly, unencumbered of metrics that take away from providing medical care. This position allows you to provide health care in a different mode, which is a rare opportunity in the current health care climate. In addition, this ten-month position allows more time for family and self with two months off in the summer.
Responsibilities of the role include but are not limited to:
• Eliciting and recording medical histories
• Performing pertinent physical exams, developing treatment plans, and prescribing medications
• Performing diagnostic work ups
• Monitoring the student’s recovery process
